Is there always exists a homomorphism between two groups $G_1$ and $G_2$? Why?

If you require the homomorphism to be surjective, the answer is no; for example, there is no homomorphism of $\Bbb Z/3\Bbb Z$, the cyclic group of order $3$, onto $\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z$, the cyclic group of order $2$.
If you do not require the homomorphism to be surjective, the answer is yes: just map every element of $G_1$ to the identity element of $G_2$. |
